Real issue is billionaires says left-wing group

At a rally organised in response to protests following the killing of a British man, allegedly by a refugee, campaigners claimed that the real issue is not violence by outsiders but the existence of 'billionaires'.

In a statement by 'Your Party', soon to be renamed 'Their Party', which had organised the event:

"People are being hoodwinked into blaming the 'other' for their problems when their real enemy is billionaires"

Perpetua Indignatia, 24, a professional activist and part-time postgraduate researcher in Advanced Intersectional Resistance Studies launched into a tirade against the evils of 'billionaires':

Perpetua, who completed her dissertation in "The contribution of mansplaining to the Holocaust", told the crowd of 300 gathered at Trafalgar Square that:

"The real issue is not young men from conflict zones. It is Jeff Bezos delivering medication at short notice."

After waiting for applause to die down, and for protesters to complete their posts on social media sites developed by billionaires, she continued:

"The real enemies are Larry Page and Sergey Brin for granting you access to the sum of human knowledge completely free of charge", she continued to roars of approval. Several audience members immediately checked Google to verify the claim before condemning the company.

Finally, she bellowed into the microphone:

“Don't blame immigrants. Blame Bill Gates for making it possible for millions of ordinary people to produce spreadsheets.”

The OMS spoke to protesters in the crowd who agreed with every word of Perpetua's statement, and blamed the 'mass media' for manipulating people.

Joe King, a Green Party Councillor from South London, told the OMS:

“The billionaire press try to divide us by constantly reporting individual crimes when what they should be reporting is what billionaires are doing.”

When asked for an example, he replied:

"Well, take Jeffrey Epstein. The media completely ignored him."

His friend, Meibei Sane, chipped in:

"And Elon Musk. The media never criticises him"
